There were 5 patches from Matthew Garrett... IIRC you told me you took over backlight stuff from Richard Purdie (hope I recall the name correctly). First it is a bit hard for me to assign your changed patch names to the original ones. There are patches from your tree being recognised for linux-next... What's up with the backlight ones? Unfortunately, the last working linux-next (next-20110224) and the patchset (I have maintained here) do not apply due to recent changes in linux-next this week. (Mostly the big patch 1-5 required adaptation to fit linux-next.) And yes, I am a bit sick of it, so I kicked them for now. I am not sure what is the ideal way to let these 5 patches (and more?) go into linux-next (aka for-2.6.39) But for the mentionned patchset platform-drivers-x86.git#linux-next could be a good choice (it is automatically pulled into linux-next), but this would mean Matthew has to do the work... Anyway, I want to see this patchset in 2.6.39. BTW, the below listed patchset was take #2 from Matthew. I am sure take #3 will make me and others happy :-). - Sedat - $ ls -lR backlight-type/ backlight-type/: insgesamt 80 -rw-r--r-- 1 sd sd 39541 23.
